The Bigger Picture Lyrics - Directors Of Photography - Dilated Peoples

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough 

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough 

I'm out the shed and the tools brand new 

Dear mama dropped them jewels that I never ran through 

The most driven never sat up in the back seat 

The most forgiven never flagging down a taxi 

That's my word if it's meant to outgrow 

Like I used to run home to catch the last of my show 

Some move to the future other's living it slow 

Old tunes trying to find where the memories flow 

You know I try to chase 'em down no dragon 

Shit, they shot a Beatle, do people still imagine? 

I think the world could be a better place 

No fam but I still set a table and I said it's grace 

I think I'll let you in my life all access 

Gift and curses, cursive closed captions 

Misinterpreting the passion 

Saving face ain't a game, ain't a time for retractions 

I learned one way then front the opposite 

I learned behind the beat, now I learned on top of it 

I do go against the grain 

I do take bigger pictures that don't fit in the frame 

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough 

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough 

Dip the scriber in the inkwell 

Thoughts sketch a snapshot 

Vibrant check the detail, now the family eats well 

Used to cut the mold off bricks for grilled cheese melts 

Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how the things fell 

Mansions and lap pools to sleeping on back pews 

Pictures and statues where roaches and rats moved 

Faithfully I've seen it all alive, and I'm grateful 

With Curtis Mayfield singing "Just be Thankful" 

Slapping loud out a glasshouse, pearl enamel tooth color 

Seasoned old cats then the ragtop, roof covered 

Nodded and they nodded back, respect acknowledged 

Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are a college 

California campus, I've studied abroad 

Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, "What if he shrugged?" 

The rich lady asked, "What if we thug?" 

Humanity said "I'm feeling drowsy what is the drug?" 

Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two 

Held the elevator, check the levels that we've grown through 

Philanthropic maybe 'cause I did my dirt 

There, I'm haunted, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted 

Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers 

No more kid gloves for the dreamers 

Awake trying to live dreams physically, energy is extreme 

Lessons of infinity are vivid on the big screen 

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough 

I learned when I was growin' up 

Sometimes you, sometimes me 

Always love 

Train hard, now my focus up 

Got it all but ain't had enough
